Pre-Friday Random Ten

I’m sure it has something to do with the economy, but I can’t remember a time when there were so few music acts of interest touring. On the other hand, despite the steep ticket price, this might be fun in a weird "I never thought I’d do this" kind of way. Maybe I should take my mom.

Onward-

I Chose Horses – MogwaiDarn That Dream – Mile DavisThe People’s Drug – John Wesley HardingHappy – Mazzy StarEmbrace the Chaos – Ozomatli (who just played three sold-out shows here and I missed out on all three)Tight Rope – Leon RussellSummer – WarLove Radiates Around – The Roches (have I ever mentioned that Dancer With Bruised Knees is one of my all time favorite albums? And that it is by the McGarrigle Sisters and I goofed up mentioning it here. The point remains… he said Jonah Goldberg-like)Ain’t That Peculiar – Marvin GayeRoom Without A Window – Operation Ivy and number eleven because that wouldn’t be unusual – Brain Damage – The Blake Babies

Just to emphasize my point about the dearth of entertainment options, the Belly Up is hosting Taylor Hicks for $35 a pop by which I suppose they mean that they’ll give you thirty-five dollars if you come to the show. If they throw in a blow job they might find some takers…
